Fondant, a sugar paste similar to play dough used for decorating cakes, is best stored properly to prevent it from drying out or becoming sticky.
Here's a breakdown of how to store fondant:
-
When Not In Use: Fondant needs to be protected from air exposure.
- Wrap the fondant tightly in plastic wrap, ensuring there are no air pockets.
- Place the wrapped fondant inside an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag.
- Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate or freeze fondant unless specifically instructed by the recipe, as this can affect its texture and consistency.
